About this cycle route

Ride around the Rivers Ride 3 is a challenging 9.9 km cycle route connecting Nedlands to Mosman Park along Perth's riverside corridors. This segment of the longer Ride around the Rivers network takes in urban shared paths and local trails with some steep sections and technical terrain. Well signposted and suited to experienced cyclists, it's a fast-paced ride through Perth's riverside suburbs with good access to local amenities.

Highlights

  • Riverside shared paths through Perth's western suburbs
  • Steep climbs and descents — challenging gradient
  • Well-signposted route between Nedlands and Mosman Park
  • Mix of sealed path and local trail riding
  • Urban cycling with water views

What to expect

Sealed shared paths alternate with steeper, more technical trail sections. Expect consistent climbs and descents across the route, particularly as you negotiate the riverside topography between the two suburbs. Signposting is clear throughout. Shade varies — some sections shaded by riverside vegetation, others more exposed. Surface is mostly sealed but may include packed earth on steeper pitches.

Good to know

  • Open to cyclists
  • Waymarked route

Carry water — the urban setting offers limited natural water sources. Wear sturdy cycling shoes for technical sections. This route is busy during commute times; ride with lights and awareness. Best ridden in cooler months (April–September); summer heat and bushfire risk make midday summer riding unsafe. Check conditions before riding in hot weather.
